Me vs Me vs Time.
- First payout approved 816 days after learning Trading existed 623 days after finding ICT 283 days after tape reading daily 164 days after being fired
- Trading paid for my mortgage & bills all year. That's plenty success to me.
- Results of the Opening Judas Backtest. Thesis: If I wanted to trade every day, I can harvest 5 handles for 1R regardless of chop or news during the Opening Judas without a bias.
00:00 - I've funded 13 accounts out of over 130 challenges or evals. Of 13, six remain active. Of those six, I've gotten payouts with TWO. I always pay lifetime fees. Keeping the account alive for more than 4 months makes it worth it. Read this again & again. I am still standing.
- After 14 months of being a Full Time Trader, I am finally caught up on my mortgage 🥴 Don't do what I did 😂😭
- It's my first election since I started trading so I looked back at market conditions during each Election Year; then from Election to Inauguration on the Daily & Weekly Charts.
- Replying to @I_Am_The_ICTI backtested 1 contract on MES this weekend & 5 handles is very reasonable. 98% of trades went well over 5 handles. Neutral Bias.
- 3 Indicators for life: 1. ICT Killzones + Pivots @TradeForOpp 2. first fvg @_joshuuu 3. ICT ADR Levels - Judas x Daily Range Meter @toodegrees This is all I would ever need to form a narrative & take a trade any day. They're on every chart I share.
- The only goal I didn't achieve this year is $1M in funding - because I failed half of my funded accounts. As it stands, I'm $25K short of $1M in passed funded accounts. Elite - $800K Apex - $175K In May of 2023, I set out to do this within a year. There's still time.
- I did everything wrong. I was fired before I was profitable, I traded props before I was ready. Didn't demo trade enough. I have zero regrets. I'm proud I never gave up. After funding 27 accounts, I'm still not a millionaire. But I'll be damned if I'm not knocking at the door.
- 80 days ago. How many of us have already quit or will be quitting our jobs in the next 10 days?This moment was it for me.
